Sanskrit verses with English translation from Kalyana Varma. Read the full classical treatise on AstroFusion Learning.

Verse 1 — Kemadruma Yoga — Definition

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: candra-bhṛtyajya'nyato grahair vinaikena yadi | tadā kemadrumaḥ proktaḥ phalaṁ dadyād dhana-kshayam ||]

candra-bhṛtyajya'nyato grahair vinaikena yadi | tadā kemadrumaḥ proktaḥ phalaṁ dadyād dhana-kṣayam ||

When the Moon has no planet in the 2nd or 12th from it, and no planet in a kendra from it, the Kemadruma yoga is formed — it tends to cause financial difficulties, dependency and poverty-like effects.

Verse 2 — Cancellation by Planet in Kendra from Moon

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: kendra-sthaḥ kaścit grahaḥ sūrya-putrād ṛte yadi | candrasya tasmin kāle tu kemadrumaḥ pranaśyati ||]

kendra-sthaḥ kaścit grahaḥ sūrya-putrād ṛte yadi | candrasya tasmin kāle tu kemadrumaḥ pranaśyati ||

If a planet — other than Rahu — occupies a kendra from the Moon, the Kemadruma yoga is cancelled and the native rises to prosperity through his own efforts.

Verse 3 — Cancellation by Planet Conjunct Moon

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: candreṇa saha yug bhūto grahaḥ kenacit kvacit | kemadruma-saṁhārārthaṁ tadā phalaṁ labheta saḥ ||]

candreṇa saha yug bhūto grahaḥ kenacit kvacit | kemadruma-saṁhārārthaṁ tadā phalaṁ labheta saḥ ||

When a planet is conjoined with the Moon, even in a kendra, the Kemadruma yoga is destroyed and the native gains wealth, comfort and high status.

Verse 4 — Cancellation by Jupiter's Kendra Aspect from Moon

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: jīvasya dṛṣṭi-yuktasya kendra-sthasya ca vā bhavet | candrasya phala-saṁyogaḥ kemadruma-vināśakaḥ ||]

jīvasya dṛṣṭi-yuktasya kendra-sthasya ca vā bhavet | candrasya phala-saṁyogaḥ kemadruma-vināśakaḥ ||

When Jupiter is in a kendra from the Moon — by conjunction or full aspect — Kemadruma is cancelled and the native attains king-like status, learning and longevity.

Verse 5 — Cancellation by Venus or Mercury

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: śukra-budha-sahitaḥ candraḥ kendra-sthaḥ pranaśyati | kemadrumaḥ phalaṁ dadyāt sukha-saubhāgya-saṁyutam ||]

śukra-budha-sahitaḥ candraḥ kendra-sthaḥ pranaśyati | kemadrumaḥ phalaṁ dadyāt sukha-saubhāgya-saṁyutam ||

If Venus or Mercury is in a kendra from Moon, Kemadruma is destroyed and the native is blessed with luxuries, beautiful spouse, education and social grace.

Verse 6 — Cancellation by 2nd/12th Lord from Moon

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: dvitīya-dvādaśādīnāṁ patayaḥ kendra-saṁsthitāḥ | candrasya bhaṅga-janakaḥ phalaṁ dadyuḥ śubhaṁ tathā ||]

dvitīya-dvādaśādīnāṁ patayaḥ kendra-saṁsthitāḥ | candrasya bhaṅga-janakaḥ phalaṁ dadyuḥ śubhaṁ tathā ||

If the lord of the 2nd or 12th from the Moon occupies a kendra from the Moon, Kemadruma is cancelled and the native gains income, savings and good fortune.

Verse 7 — Result of Cancelled Kemadruma — Raja Yoga

[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only: bhaṅgaḥ kemadrumaḥ yasya rāja-yoga-pradāyakaḥ | dhanaṁ yaśaḥ sukhaṁ dhānyaṁ putramītādikān labhet ||]

bhaṅgaḥ kemadrumaḥ yasya rāja-yoga-pradāyakaḥ | dhanaṁ yaśaḥ sukhaṁ dhānyaṁ putramītādikān labhet ||

When Kemadruma yoga is cancelled, it produces a Rajayoga — the native attains wealth, fame, happiness, good progeny and helpful friends.
